Simon Cowell has taken his next step to world domination.

First came Britain’s Got Talent, then America and Australia’s Got Talent and now the music mogul has launched a global search where entrants can show off their talents via auditions on YouTube.

SiCo’s online search will see wannabes given ‘the chance to show off their outstanding skills and win amazing prizes – simply by uploading a video’.

The You Generation – expected to launch next month – is expected to rumble on for at least a year as Si and his team search for a different skill every two weeks.

The contest will extend across 26 territories and a panel of experts, tailored to each fortnightly contest, will decide on the top entrants.

The winners’ efforts will then be showcased on The You Generation’s YouTube channel.

Announcing the launch today, Syco and YouTube called it ‘a new worldwide entertainment concept’, adding: ‘The channel offers people with unconventional and original talents the opportunity to have their talent recognised by the world and become the next internet star.’
